A French Culinary Adventure

The Four Seasons Hotel George V has partnered with Le Cordon Bleu, one of the world’s most distinguished cooking schools, to create an ideal learning vacation called the French Culinary Adventure for parents and teenagers who wish to expand their culinary repertoire. The exclusive five-day course consists of daily demonstrations, three- to six-hour practical classes, and workshops at the renowned Left Bank institution. Families then digest the daily experience at the George V, one of Paris’ grandest Right Bank hotels (awarded three stars by the Guide Michelin for its elegant restaurant Le Cinq). The chef-instructors address both savory and sweet recipes with regionally focused menus—you may learn how to properly poach a perch caught in the rivers of the Loire Valley or to pair wines and cheeses from the same terroir. Classes also visit the open-air Marché du Raspail in the sixth arrondissement and enjoy seasonal lunches at distinguished bistros near the school. The experience is open to everyone over the age of thirteen, and includes classes, a deluxe suite, breakfast, market tours, and gift certificates for spa treatments when you book through your CRB concierge.
